The After Christmas blahs..Camellia's, Thunder Bay Florist

My neighbour's Daffodils...sigh... I planted lots of Daffodils in the fall, covered the bulbs with mesh so that my unpaid Gardeners..aka... the squirrels , can't dig them up, so I'm hoping I get lots of blooms this Spring. Deer apparently don't like Daffodils.

I don't know about you, but the taking down of the Christmas tree tends to become a chore, it's not the same as putting it up. So what can you do? Try getting some Spring pots of Daffodils and Hyacinths. Surround yourself with colour. Spring pots are so cheery and happy!

Boating at Cloud Lake, Camellia's Thunder Bay Florist, ON

It was time to take a break today and go for a Boat Ride. Cloud Lake is a mere 20 minutes away from us. So we loaded up the boat and off we went.

It was cloudy when we got there, but still nice and warm. Lots of other boats were on the Lake . The Golden was quite worried about the noise of the motor, but eventually he pulled his head out from my arm and started to enjoy the ride.

We were lucky and spotted a Loon on the Lake. I've never seen one close up before, so this was a treat.

Cloud Lake is quite high up, as you can see from this photo which was taken on the way back home. Need a break? Go for a boat ride on Cloud Lake!

Lilacs at The Camellia

Lilacs are an old favourite in a Garden...there are many Lilac bushes around Thunder Bay. These photos were taken recently at our Family's home in Edmonton, Alberta. Here at Camellia's we have French Lilacs, which bloom considerably later than other varieties.

Love the smell of Lilacs? Treat yourself to a wonderful Fresh White Lilac shea butter Lotion. Soft and light, and smells just like a just blooming lilac blossom. Ask for the Farm house White Lilac.

Fresh white Lilac Laundry sachets - use in the dryer to scent your linens or clothing. Each sachet is good for 4 or 5 loads in the dryer.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to have a Lilac bush in your yard, pick a bunch and bring them in! Smashing their wooden stems may help the blooms to take up water easily.

We have a wonderful square tablecloth with Lilacs embroidered on it.

Fresh Lilacs are a real treat! Enjoy them while they last!
